Now you don't have to give up your Crackberry habit to get your 'Kindle
On!' Amazon has launched a Kindle Application for Blackberry owners so
they too can purchase and read eBooks from the Kindle Library, with
just a tap of the finger.

Calling all inventors, product designers, fashionistas,
and anyone else who can come up with the next consumer must-have. The
Dallas Market Center, the world's largest wholesale marketer, is searching for The Next BIG THING.

Rocket Man and entrepreneur Elon Musk heads up SpaceX,
a spaceship manufacturer that promises to provide space travel aboard its Falcon 9 rockets at a mere $20 million a seat. While the
seating accommodations will be spacious, we don't believe heavy-weight
film director Kevin Smith will consider purchasing two seats since he's
use to paying under $100 dollars for all his flights.

Last year, I posted my "Top Ten Twitter Songs of All Time,"
and included a voting POLL. The results named Ben Walker and his song
entitled: "You're No One if You're Not on Twitter," as the winner.
While I don't think Ben ever left his day job as an online developer,
his song will go down in the annals of Twitter Twhistory as a classic!
However, to that list of Twitter all time hits, I now need to add
Marcomé's latest single titled "Twitter Me Some Love."

Since the viral rant of "United Airlines Breaks Guitars" hit the
airwaves last year, no other airline has caught as much negative press
in Twitterville. That was prior to the boarding of a plane by the heavy-weight director Kevin Smith of "Clerks" and "Dogma" fame. With
his frenzied condemnation of Southwest Airlines this past weekend, once
again it shows how an airline brand can be demonized with a few simple
tweets (well maybe not "a few," because as a result of this
controversial director's girth, he has tweeted close to a hundred times
in the last 24 hours).

Saturdays are normally slow news days - allowing us to retreat into our
reboot mode- a time to recharge and reset for the upcoming week. This
was not the case for the gang that man the ivory towers of Mountain
View in the heart of Silicon Valley. No, this weekend those pilgrims
that pray at the altar of Larry Page and Sergey Brin were paying
penance in an attempt to fix a transgression that was literally causing
a very big BUZZzzzz!

You got the skills to run all of the governments social networks
accounts such as Twitter and Facebook? Do you know the difference
between friends, followers and fans? If so, Obama wants you. Here's a
chance for all those social media gurus out there to show your mettle
and work for the number one honcho in the land. Just think about it - you
may only be a tweet away from landing one of the most important gigs of
your social media career. That is - after you investigate why their
current Twitterer In Charge has chosen to step down?

Can going viral on a Facebook Fan Page
get you you a gig on Saturday Night Live? If fans have their way -
Betty White might be the first actress to score such a deal. She may
have started her showbiz career back in the days of "I Love Lucy," but
today you haven’t hit the big time until you’ve gone viral.

Edison Nation is holding another naming competition. This should be fun; it needs a name for a foldable
baking pan. And the winner of this particular competition not only gets
$500, but his or her winning name will be written into an episode of Every Day Edisons during Season 3 (starting in May on PBS affiliates).
